I heard that contract wasn’t put out for bid…. However, I’ve no idea if that info is accurate.

Not getting into politics here!! However, I just heard that the ‘John Cafaro Company’ was hired last month to clean up the Reflecting Pool in front of the Washington Monument….(This job has turned into a minor disaster!) Is this the same Cafaro Company that produced some of the ‘89-‘91 AVANTI automobiles?? 🤔

Not sure about that!…..I think the ‘original’ wheel cover blank would be stamped out first, then the Avanti ‘touches’ would be added to it…..Possibly added in one additional stamping.

False…. A Checker with a souped up Chevrolet engine under its hood does sound like the ultimate ‘sleeper’ though!!

If you tighten the screw with the wave washer under it, (between the body bracket and the swing out latch), it tends to tighten up the hinge assy.

It’s just tough to see those blisters after all the work you did…. But your not alone with this one my friend!

Sounds interesting!…. The perfect frame & troughs puts a perspective purchaser way ahead.

You may be correct with “four”… Myself I figured ‘two’….One stamp for the indented ring around the center, and a second stamping for the five scallops/ flats. I’m not a stamping expert, and am only guessing here!

Hi Kodjo….. I no longer have that letter, however, it’s point was… Water absorbed into the fiberglass from water sanding operations will eventually expand under the new paint when continually subjected to warm temperatures (sun). The factory suggested the repairer do his utmost to make sure the (fiberglass) is completely dry.

I understand what you mean Dwight. What I’m looking for here are the amount of modifications which needed to be done on the original 1954 (or late ‘53) Stude full wheelcover to produce the 1963 Avanti wheelcover…. Perhaps asking how many stamping operations were required to accomplish this was a step in the wrong direction.

Always really liked the turquoise & fawn!

Ard, if you wanted to go in the other direction, 1951 or 1952 Studebaker front spindles would work fine….I guess you could say those weren’t ‘dropped’ spindles, they were ‘upd’ spindles!!

Sorry not 3 Dwight……(I skipped to the 1954 wheelcover to rule out the 1953 mid year change when the ‘tri-bars’ were eliminated)
